Who would have thought after 4 children my 5th would be like this???

Has anyone noticed a huge amount of gas coming from both ends of their baby? I say this because my little guy has a huge amount of pain (from what i can tell) when he has to fart. I have put up with this for as long as i could and had to put my foot down to the Dr. He currently drinks Alimentum and is now on Zanac. I dont know if im so desparate that i think the medecine is working or if it really is. The next step is to change formula again and if that doesnt work have him tested. Boy if this was my first child it would have been my last.....what a challenge!!!

I thought i knew it all....I need some help with this matter...perhaps some comfort. :confused:

Hang in there. The crying stops at some point, and then they go into teething. Fun. No, it will get better, what all have you tried? We found the colic pills to work pretty good for our dd. Along with tight swaddling. My dd was colic and reflux. The Happiest baby on the block video was pretty good, unfortunately I didnt' watch it until she was too big to swaddle. We found keeping her up right was better than laying down and nothing ever worked 2 times in a row.

Hang in there and keep asking questions - here and to the dr.s. Don't ever except an answer that doesn't feel right. And you do know a lot, you have to you have a whole ball team on your side.
Happy day.

Thanks for the encouraging words. After you wrote me and i sat here looking at the can of Nutragimen...i decided to just go ahead and try it. Oh my gosh what a difference...for now anyways. He doesnt have that terrible gas and is able to have a BM now. I just feel bad because of all the money used to try this formula and that formula and then have to throw the unused can out....and im sure you all know how spendy it is. But then i think well if he is doing better than what the heck.

As i read about some of you im happy to know im not alone. Its hard tho being single and taking care of a child that is colicy...and then his father has the nerve to think im lying. The nerve to think i would dream this up and after going threw what i have or any of us...you would have to be crazy. No fun i tell you....anyway thanks for the help.

As i continue on this terrible journey with Anthony i will keep on checking in and hope i can count on help from all of you and that i can help someone in return.:angel4
